So, took a gamble on some X5650's (ES Chips) that were 20% off RPP. And it turns out that they're good to go Also took the opportunity of shutting down the rig to change the cooling setup. Managed to mount the H100 on a reversed HDD cage

Gonna leave it stock and go sleep for now.. but can't wait to see what this can do.

I will have a gtx465 crunching for the team soon, I got the pm that it was shipped today,I'm trying to get another gtx460 for crunching on also. I decided to put the case on hold for another week to build up my crunching power more. Then after I have 3 gpus I will get a case and stronger psu for them.
I also added a a6 apu that is crunching on all cores 100% and on the onboard gpu(takes about 30min to do a task,but faster then about 2hr on cpu only)

Whoa my friend, I don't know where you got them chips, however the "Intel Confidential" refers to being a test sample processor! Who ever sold them to you should not have! Hopefully Intel does not find out where them chips went to, otherwise they can confiscate them from you brother.

I'm aware of the caveats associated with them. One of the last pairs I had failed on me and of course no warranty.. it's a risk always.

It's hard to say on this board. CPU-0 (with H100) is normally hotter than CPU-1 because of the nearby mosfets. Once I get more meaningful results I'll PM ya.

Just a little heads up KieX, Cpu-0 on the board is actually cpu-1 in cpu-z or e-leet and cpu-1 on the board is cpu-0 in cpu-z or e-leet. It's the same in the bios too, not sure why they're mixed up though. It's confused a lot of people though, the cpu closest to the i/o shield is the hottest one. IIRC, there was a topic over at [H] on it. One of the guys couldn't figure out why one cpu was hotter than the other. So he started swapping them around and only running one cpu at a time and disabling the other. Both cpu's ran the same temps in each of the sockets, but the rear socket closest to the i/o shield was the hottest by 5 degrees C.

Ah. Thanks for the tip, will go read up a little. I honestly thought they followed the same numbers as the PCB so guess I may check that for the other stuff like CoreTemp.

Yeah I went ahead and tried it out with a MATX board and see how well the ventilation was LOL. I dismantled it tonight as I need some of the parts from that rig for another build. But I may put that case to use for another build I am brain storming as it may just fit the build for the time period this build is aimed for. LOL
